The GK computer labels this move a blunder and I agree. It allows a discovered check on my next move and enables me to get a pawn on the seventh rank by the black king. |

The bishop, which was formerly little more than a big pawn, comes to life and checks the black king |

The black king had other ways to get out of check but I remember through use of the analysis board that none were problem free |

Played after a decent amount of time on the analysis board. I knew my rook on e3 was hanging, but thought getting a pawn to the seventh rank was worth sacrificing it. |

The GK computer calls this move a blunder because it allows a mate in 12. I didn’t see the mate in 12 but I liked my chances after getting my pawn to the seventh rank where it attacked the black king. What a brave pawn! |

Check by a pawn. You don’t see that very often when queens and rooks are still on the board. |

Only move to get out of check. The pawn, supported by a rook, controls squares f8 and h8. |

Threatens mate on h8 (queen) and h7 (queen or bishop) |

Prevents the queen from delivering checkmate but not the bishop. |

A fitting end. The bishop, which was previously little more than a big pawn, delivers checkmate by moving next to an actual pawn. White’s heavy pieces (queen and rook) play only supporting roles in the attack. |
